    It only cost me $3000, ive had for just over a year, but ive done a bit to it, ive customised the interior myself, new bumper and grill, tinted tail lights and headlights, sounds system, 2.5 inch exhaust, list goes on lol.. so ive spent a fair amount on it. I got part time job and thats where my money goes!

    Yeah that garnish is clean and looks tidy as! Mixes in nicely with the rest of the bar.
    I dunno it just looks good!! Very clean and nice interior too mate! Keep up the good work! Get a clay bar onto your car with a polish and wax and she will look REALLY nice.

    Thanks guys! I honestly went for the statesman garnish and bar because i really wanted to be different and at the same time not go over the top, just wanted to keep it clean and improve the look all round. Cobez yeh ive been really thinkin about clay bar and polish/waxing it for a while. Im getting onto it very soon, i need to update my pics as i painted the skirts and bumper myself, ive since then sanded the clear and buffed them so now they're shiny Also i hav a HSV boot lip on her and it looks so much better. im gunna wash my car today and ill get some pics up soon..
